I've been using the lower frequency's 4-8 kHz coinshooting with the Deus. With 8 kHz being the most used,I've found the target separation,to be a lot wider in the lower frequencys. This makes IDing,and Notching out unwanted targets much easier. In my use I've never seen any depth gain from the higher frequencys! I just dig a lot more trash with them!(little tiny pieces of can slaw,deep),and tons of bottle caps Many targets (both good/and trash)have the same tone/TID in the higher frequencys also. This doesn't happen nearly as much,if any in the lower frequencys a (nickel,and pull tab are close,but that's about all). I've notice that you don't see many programs for the 4 kHz frequency? I my limited experience with the Deus,I can tell you that the 4 kHz is a "Coin Hammer" when coinshooting! It doen'ts have the ability to change TX power,as it's set to a default of high. It can be hard to run in areas where mineralization is high,but in areas where you can run 4 kHz,it jumps on silver/copper coins, like a tick on a coonhound! I've never had any frequency hit cooper/silver as hard as it does,and it doesn't like bottle caps either,(that breaks my heart)! I'm really supprized to not see more programs made around the 4 kHz frequency? Maybe it's just me?
